Current Budget Methodology

A Hybrid of Three Approaches:• Targeted Budgets• Sales and Services Budgets• Summary Budgets

7

Targeted Budgets• State general (SG), state restricted (SR), local general (LG), F&A

institutional (FI), endowment institutional (EI), and gift institutional (DI)

• University Budget Office (UBO) provides budget target and modifies it for salary increases, fringe benefit changes, addenda, and budget reductions

• Central covers costs for facilities and central administration

• Unit manages internal allocation of budget, hiring, carryforward, and operational decisions

• Central oversight is by UBO, managed on a year-to-date basis

• Required to be funded and budgeted in the Integrated System (IS)

8

Sales & Services Budgets• State sales and services (SS), state auxiliaries (SA), local sales and

services (LS), local auxiliaries (LA), and local other (LO)• Revenue-generating, self-supporting unit approach• Unit manages revenues and direct expenses (salary and fringe changes)• Cost for facilities and central administration responsibility varies:

– 100% facilities and indirect costs paid by auxiliaries– 100% facilities and 10% revenue tax assessed to self-sufficient– 10%-15% revenue tax assessed to some self-supporting units– No facilities or indirect costs assessed to other sales and services units

• Central oversight is by UBO; managed on a year-to-date basis

• Required to be funded and budgeted in the IS

9

Summary Budgets• Endowments (ER, EU, EF), gifts (DR, DU), F&A (FA), grants (G*, Z*),

and intellectual property (IP)

• Unit manages direct expenses (salary and fringe changes)

• Central covers cost of facilities and central administration, with the exception of grants (reimbursed by federal gov’t)

• Allocations and central oversight are by Comptroller’s Office, Gift Accounting, Sponsored Programs, and the VP for Research; managed on a project-to-date basis; not required to be funded and budgeted in the Integrated System

• Summary budgets are submitted to the UBO for purposes of developing a total budget, but they are not uploaded to the IS

Budget Overview

• Current Budget & Methodology• New Internal Financial Model• Capital Budget• Questions

11

Identified Concerns with Current Model• Historically based, with minimal re-alignment for activity

changes• Absence of incentives for innovation, creativity, and revenue

generation• Does not consider all available funds• Does not link resources and uses; inconsistent allocation of

revenue and expenses• Desire by deans for a more open decision-making process• Difficulty in developing multi-year budgets to align with

programmatic planning

12

Work to Date• Collected and reviewed data from peers; developed potential schematic and

identified possible methods of allocating revenues and central expenses

• Drafted a sources and uses report to represent operational cash flows by major revenue center

• Reviewed funding across units to consider a more consistent approach to record resource-sharing

• Developed a Statement of Purpose and preliminary timeline

• Identified Executive Co-Chairs and engaged senior administration in Steering Committee

• Conducted a needs analysis survey for financial reporting in academic and administrative units

• Completed preliminary groundwork to understand major revenue and service centers

• Launched a website: http://www.virginia.edu/resourcingthemission/

Questions?

Types of Endowments True restricted endowment – written donor agreement

establishes original gift as an endowment and restrict how distribution can be spent

True unrestricted endowment - written donor agreement establishes original gift as an endowment but does not restrict spending

Quasi restricted endowment – funds are designated (or undesignated) as an endowment by the Board; written donor agreement establishes spending restrictions

Quasi unrestricted endowment - funds are designated (or undesignated) as an endowment by the Board; there are no spending restrictions

Size of the University’s Endowment(in millions)

Distribution Policy• Spending policy has two objectives:

⁻ to provide reliable, predictable distributions to support programs

⁻ to preserve purchasing power of endowment principal to fund programs in perpetuity

⁻ Differing methods are employed; the Board revisits its approach every few years.

⁻ In general, goal is to spend between 4% and 6% of the market value.
